Another night is dying
And the car that drives us home
A seasoned venue for your cryin'
Another block, I'll be alone
I find you beautiful, but fraught then
I know you little, but the best
And your attentions are like lightning
You strike one place
and leave the rest
When this game we played
so many times
Leaves us lying here for dead
I would wake and curse
my blackened soul
For the things I said tonight
I've
seen you grow in oh, so many ways
But never was there such a tree
That grew so tall with such commitment
That grew it all in front of me
You come from meadows black as night
Into my life to light the way
There's no reason for the things you do
No excuse for what I say
And when the music's shut behind us
And there's only solitude ahead
I would stand and fight the very gods
for the things I said tonight
Never
was there such a simple face
That brought such
pleasure all around
You'd bring relief to the
most heartened drunk
When he looks up from the ground
And when we've turned
and said goodbye to all
And made our separate ways to bed
I would drink the best man's soba
For the things I said tonight
But when this game we
played so many times
Leaves us ly ing here for dead
I would wake and curse my blackened soul
For the things I said tonight
For the things I've said
tonight
You
